06How we work

Tree work, run like an operation.

  1. 01 Recce

    We survey first: access, hazards, and a TPO and conservation area check before anything is priced.

  2. 02 Brief

    You get a written plan: what will be done, by whom, and what happens to the waste.

  3. 03 Execute

    NPTC-qualified climbers and groundworkers do the work, £5M insured, to the plan.

  4. 04 Clear

    Chipped, swept and checked. We leave it tidier than we found it.

The right job, in the right month.

Trees run on seasons. Turn the dial to see what's worth doing now, and what's worth waiting for.

JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC Jan

January

Good time for

  • Crown reductions and thinning on most deciduous trees: leaves off, so we can see every branch
  • Apple and pear pruning
  • Felling and bare-root planting while the ground is workable

Worth knowing

  • Birch, maple and walnut bleed sap if cut now. Leave them until late summer
